    Bob Sansevere did not vote for Johan.
  2. AlwaysinModeration
    Johan has gotten two votes. He needs approximately 19 more votes to not fall off the ballot.
  3. AlwaysinModeration
    So now we are judging Hall of Fame cases on the four best years?
  4. AlwaysinModeration
    Johan is suffering from a number crunch. The ballot is stuffed. You’ve got new guys like Chipper and Thome. You’ve got Vlad and Hoffman who easily could have gotten in last year, but didn’t, so taking votes on most ballots. Then you’ve got Bonds and Clemens, who should have gotten in years and years ago, but the electorate are finally getting over making examples out of them. And then Edgar and Schilling are finally getting the attention they deserve. Finally, you’ve got folks like Mussina and Larry Walker, who are deserving but are slowly building their vote totals over years. Add it all up, and throw in your random Vizquel, Wagner and Rolen votes, and there just isn’t a ton of space for Johan. What a shame. On the other hand, Joe is going in. He has a decent chapter or two left to write, even though I don’t think he needs it. Not really sure how he’ll end the story; gold glove, batting title, 2500 hits, 20 SB season, World Series MVP, or even some random, soon-to-become iconic game-saving defensive playoff game play (think Jeter ball flip against Oakland), but I’m sure there will be something. Also remember, Joe has several intangibles in his favor already: 1) one team his whole career 2) hometown kid 3) crystal clean image through steroids era 4) that behind the catch catch of the backstop carom 5) “Well played, Joe Mauer”

    I “liked” this for sheer randomness.
  6. AlwaysinModeration
    In that years the Angels went 22-11 in Colón starts while the Twins went 24-9 in Santana starts. Maybe the voters were looking at the wrong win totals.
  7. AlwaysinModeration
    That seems like a fair price for a pitcher to slot in at the top of the rotation.
  8. AlwaysinModeration
    Likely back at Chattanooga for another season, possibly up to Rochester. Maybe he gets taken, but I doubt it.
  9. AlwaysinModeration
    The Twin Cities have two of the 30 votes for this award? Congratulations, Paul. Can you please lead the team to another 26 game improvement? Or better yet, another 44% improvement?
  10. AlwaysinModeration
    I wonder if Buxton had bunted in the first inning, scoring a fourth run, would the TD crowd have gone berserk?
  11. AlwaysinModeration
    Read the Bernadino piece. A funny bit from that was that Mauer didn't even remember the inspirational words that were the basis for the story. The players only meeting, though, seemed to be something that they all remember. Of course, they also lost the game that night after the team meeting?
  12. AlwaysinModeration
    If Mauer's hit is five feet further and Judge's is five feet short, Twins win 7-6.
  13. AlwaysinModeration
    What sucks about this is the fact that this whole "the Yankees own the Twins" thing will continue...forever.
  14. AlwaysinModeration
    You mean a bullpen that pitches 300 innings and gets 450 strikeouts? That's impossible, no team could ever construct that.
  15. AlwaysinModeration
    I would have preferred a win.
  16. AlwaysinModeration
    Note to self, need to touch the base while running out a grounder.
  17. AlwaysinModeration
    So anyway, any ideas on what to get Mike for a house warming gift?
  18. AlwaysinModeration
    I'm trying to figure out what you edited out of your response.
  19. AlwaysinModeration
    I almost forgot, this thread would not be complete without a Princess Bride reference!
  20. AlwaysinModeration
    Or a rally.
  21. AlwaysinModeration
    Let me get this straight. The Yankees pull their starter after 1 out, use nothing but dominant bullpen arms, are set up for their usual 8-9 elite arms...and still have a reliever that is better than any of the Twins' relievers...that they aren't even going to use?
  22. AlwaysinModeration
    Especially with Sano lurking on the bench.
  23. AlwaysinModeration
    Was that preemptive?
  24. AlwaysinModeration
    Excellent chance to get Gardner out this inning.
  25. AlwaysinModeration
    Need to get Robertson out of the game.
